1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 3. You cannot help small men up by tearing big men down. 4. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 5. You cannot lift the wage-earner up by pulling the wage-payer down. 6. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. 7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. 8. You cannot establish sound social security on borrowed money. 9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a mans initiative and independence. 10. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.

William James

Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

Joshua Lederberg

Steve Maraboli

You have to believe. Otherwise, it will never happen.

Neil Gaiman

You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.

Victor Hugo

A house divided against itself cannot stand -- I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

Abraham Lincoln

What is it the I'll want from you? Not love: that would be too much to ask. Not forgiveness, which isn't yours to bestow. Only a listener, perhaps; only someone who will see me. Don't prettify me though, whatever else you do: I have no wish to be a decorated skull. But I leave myself in your hands. What choice do I have? By the time you read this last page, that- if anywhere- is the only place I will be.

Margaret Atwood

I'm getting older now, so I should think about a family, but certainly not tomorrow.

Christina Ricci

Cincinnati is honourably famous for its free schools, of which it has so many that no person's child among its population can, by possibility, want the means of education.

Charles Dickens

Out, you tallow-face! You baggage!

William Shakespeare

Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope.

James E. Faust

If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; if you would know, and not be known, live in a city.

Charles Caleb Colton
